Openhab 3 Addons 2.x

Add-ons Bindings

Hello, i just upgraded to 3.0 stable via 2.5 and i cant find any button how to enable to use older addons(2.x)

can somebody help?

thanks a lot!

2.x addons are not compatible with OH3. They have to be recompiled against new API. There is no compatybility layer.

3

The only way to use v1 or v2 addons is to run an OH2 instance and use the remoteopenhab binding to display & control the OH2 Items in OH3.

Aha…and is there anyway to run a instance of 3.0 and 2.5 at the same raspberry the same time?

Thanks

I actually have them both running in Docker but I had to change the ports on one of them.
I do not think you can have them both running on the same Pi natively.

can you please tell me how you installed it in parallel with docker?

i mean the steps

you used for example:
openhabian+docker after?
rasbian + docker with 2 installations of openhab?
or what?also if you have any guides feel free to share them if you dont mind :slight_smile:

thanksa lot

What are you running now and what type of hardware? What bindings are you currently using?

I am really no Docker expert but I am learning.

May I ask a short question here (instead of a new thread): Have all 2.x bindings been ported to OH3? Is there a list? I’ve been searching a lot but can’t find any information…
I can understand @minoanson, it is not super clear from the blog post and announcements that 2.x bindings don’t work without a port…

Yes:

Actually, the above is v1 to v2 to v3. For a list of v3 bindings just go to the add-ons section in the UI, or here:

I think I agree. If you care about the technicalities:

All bindings that were included in the official OH2 distribution are of course available in the OH3 distribution.
Only exceptions are few UIs that were removed / replaced and the embedded MQTT broker.

Thanks guys! I was trying to see if the Nuki binding got ported since I didn’t find it in the above list and I know it was unmaintained for a while…

Sorry for the thread hijack @minoanson!

I miss the Weather binding included in OH2, so not all are available in OH3. When will weather included?

That is a v1 binding. you can either move to other choices or set up an OH2 instance to run that binding & use the remoteopenhab binding to get those Items available for OH3.

AFAIK there have never been plans to port the weather binding to OH3.
